Attendance Improvement Hub
Welcome to the Weavers Academy Attendance Improvement Hub. This page has been designed to support students and parents to understand the barriers to attendance and act early to ensure every child within the Weavers community and beyond has access to the full-time education they are entitled to and need for their successful futures.
For students
For students – we have included a range of interactive help-sheets which could support you with any challenges you are facing.
You can always drop these in to our school attendance office, and discuss any concerns you have with a member of the attendance team.
Alternatively, the attendance team would always be happy to sit with you and complete the worksheet together if this would help.
Our focus is the same as yours – helping you to attend every possible day.

For parents
We recognise that sometimes school attendance can be difficult. It can be difficult to hear your child have signs of avoiding school – and ensuring they are at school every day is not always easy
The attendance team are always on hand to help you. Please contact us immediately if you need any support.
